I was browsing through Flickr.com and i came across Rudy Sarzo's photos some very interesting shots. Note the one of Ozzy & Motorhead from HMH ?

Nice find, Shaun!

Maybe the Osbournes opposed the book coming out because of all the terribly unflattering pictures of them in it.

Thanks for the link!

Thats funny as i thought the same, what a difference a few visits to the cosmetic surgeon. It's done wonders for $haron O. No wonder Ozzy was shitfaced all the time imagine having to wake up next to her . I must admit she looks 100% better for it. It's hard to think that she has come through cancer to look like she does now.

See, I don't think the Sharon of the 80s was hideous. She was pretty average looking to me in most shots of her...but man, Rudy's shots of her are especially bad. Ozzy wasn't too hot looking himself either! Sharon looks better now, obviously. But the most recent pictures of her circulating are from the Fox Network press conference for the new variety show the Osbournes are doing...she doesn't look too good. She looks more like Joan Rivers now. Too pulled, too botoxed.

Yep, both pics look like they are from HMH.
Great find!


Interesting, I don't see Randy's pedalboard at the left from Ozzy.

that's cuz Ozzy is standing with the pedal board. You can see the wah. Must be Brad's board or Bernie's or Motorhead's? Looks like he's using the mike on the side, maybe introducing Motorhead? Definately not Randy's

Yeah, I think Ozzy did introduce another band in that photo, if Randy's pedalboard was there it should be visible for sure, see below:

The reason Randy's pedal board is not on the stage is obvious. He's introducing Motorhead to the stage, so i think those effects will be Fast Eddie's from Motorhead. The other photo of Motorhead and Ozzy is shot from about the same place as the small film clip with Randy. That clip looks like Randy is waiting to go on stage. If you notice Lemmy and co have different pre stage clothes on. In the photo above Motorhead have their stage clothes on, waiting in the wings for Ozzy to make his intro. Well thats what i can make of it .Did Lemmy introduce Ozzy's band ? I think he did..

I think you're right, Ozzy probably introduced Motorhead, from the pics you can tell, Ozzy had other clothes during his own show. And indeed Lemmy introduced Ozzy as well.
Man.... I can't imagine they only filmed a bit backstage and nothing at all from the shows. I mean, how many times they had hardrock festivals like that in England in 1981? Who wouldn't want to film at least a few glimps of some performances if you are already filming a bit backstage at such event?

They did, the motor head set was filmed by a associate of motor head.

Did that footage ever come to surface somehow?

I have never seen any, I have only ever heard other people mentioning that the motorhead set was filmed but not the Ozzy set.

I noticed on this promo pic of Ozzy he has the same clothes on. Possibley taking on the same day.
